From: "Joel Fernandes (Google)" <joel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
The RCU-specific resched_cpu() function sends a resched IPI to the
specified CPU, which can be used to force the tick on for a given
nohz_full CPU. This is needed when this nohz_full CPU is looping in the
kernel while blocking the current grace period. However, for the tick
to actually be forced on in all cases, that CPU's rcu_data structure's
->rcu_urgent_qs flag must be set beforehand. This commit therefore
causes rcu_implicit_dynticks_qs() to set this flag prior to invoking
resched_cpu() on a holdout nohz_full CPU.
